Explanation:

given data

State 1 State 2 State 3

Probability 25% 50% 25%

Spot rate $ 2.50 /Â£ $ 2.00 /Â£ $ 1.60 /Â£

P* Â£ 1,800 Â£ 2,250 Â£ 2,812.50

P $4,500 $4,500 $4,500

solution

company holds portfolio in pound. so to get hedge, they will sell that of the same amount.

we get here average value of the portfolio that is

The average value of the portfolio = £ (0.25*1800 + 0.5*2250 + 0.25*2812.5)

The average value of the portfolio = 2278.13

so correct option is C) Sell Â£2,278.13 forward at the 1-year forward rate, F1($/Â£), that prevails at time zero.

Sav [38]

Answer: $680,000

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Cracker Co. purchased 40% of Dallas Corp.'s common stock at book value of net assets on January 1, 2020 and that the balance in Cracker's Equity Investment account was $820,000 at December 31, 2020.

We are further told that Dallas reported net income of $500,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and paid dividends totaling $150,000 during 2020.

The amount paid by Cracker Co. for its 40% interest in Dallas Corp goes thus:

It should be noted that the balance in Cracker's Equity Investment account as at December 31st 2020 is the addition of the acquisition price and the share in net income after which the dividend share is deducted from the value of the addition gotten. This can be written as:

Acquisition price + (500000 × 40%) -(150000 × 40%) = $820,000

Acquisition price + (500000 × 0.4) -(150000 × 0.4) = $820,000

Acquisition price + $200,000 - $60,000 = $820,000

Acquisition price = $820,000 + $60,000 - $200,000

Acquisition price = $680,000

Cracker Co. paid $680,000 for its 40% interest in Dallas Corp.

Suppose the daily demand for soda is given by P = 4 – (2/3)Q and the daily supply of soda is given by P = 1 + (1/3)Q, where P is

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Qe 2

Pe 2

Demand price elasticity -0.60

Supplu price elasticity 3

i. It will decrease

As the demand as a more than proportionate price elasticity will overreact to the input price and their subsequent price increase with a reduce in consumption.

Explanation:

We equalize both to get the equilibrium quantity (Qe)

4 - 2/3Qe = 1 + 1/3Qe

Qe(2/3 + 1/3) = 4 - 1

Qe = 3

Then we solve for equilibrium price (Pe)

Pe = 4 - 2/3 x 3 = 4 - 2 = 2

Pe = 1 + 1/3 x 3 = 1 + 1 = 2

Price elasticity of demand at equilibrium:

variation in quantity / variation in price

we solve for Q when P = 3 and compare the variation

(1.33-3) / (3 - 2) = -1.66/1 = -1.66

Price elasticity of supply at equilibrium: ( 6 - 3) / (3 - 2) = 3 / 1 = 3
